Question

HTTP Error 405 - The HTTP verb used to access this page is not allowed

Asked by: steverpayne

I have a internal web site at our office. I want to have a form email the results of the employee request to a user in the office I use ms exchnage 2003. I have a form that is setup and it is ready to be used. From what i read, i have to give permission to allow this. This is the error i get:

The page cannot be displayed
The page you are looking for cannot be displayed because an invalid method (HTTP verb) was used to attempt access.

Contact the Web site administrator if you believe that this request should be allowed.
Make sure that the Web site address displayed in the address bar of your browser is spelled and formatted correctly.
HTTP Error 405 - The HTTP verb used to access this page is not allowed.

In IIS Manager. Right click your site and select properties. Select Home Directory. Click Configuration. Select your application extension - i.e. .HTML. Click Edit. In Verbs check and make a note of what is set in Limit to. For now set Verbs to All verbs and see if youe site works. Let us know what Limit to was.

405 occurs when you try to post to a URL which is not having execute permission.as mentioned in the earlier post check by allowing all verbs.also give execute permission to "scripts" or"scripts and executables"

skca54,

There is nothing there for htm files. What do i need to add it to. It asks me to browse a file for dll and i dont see one for htm. what should i do?

 

by: skca54Posted on 2007-01-24 at 13:20:04ID: 18390236

One thing to try - change the extension to .asp and see what happens.

 

by: steverpaynePosted on 2007-01-25 at 06:52:54ID: 18395715

the action on the form is to post. I tried to change it to asp but it wouldnt do it. nothing happens. any other suggestions?

 

by: skca54Posted on 2007-01-25 at 06:54:05ID: 18395729

When you say 'wouldn't do it' - do you mean windows stopped you changing the extension?

 

by: steverpaynePosted on 2007-01-25 at 07:07:31ID: 18395868

when i run it, it just shows a white page in IE.

 

by: Dave_DietzPosted on 2007-01-25 at 07:16:28ID: 18395967

What I actually was wondering was are you POSTing to an actual file name or is it set to a directory name.

POSTing to directories hoping that the default document will get the POST doesn't work properly.

Can you paste in the <form> tag line from the HTML page so we can see what you are trying to post to?

I found it, but I'm still getting the save error "405 - HTTP verb used to access this page is not allowed.
        Server Error   405 - HTTP verb used to access this page is not allowed. The page you are looking for cannot be displayed because an invalid method (HTTP verb) was used to attempt access."

What in the world am I doing wrong?
